The ability to power the light through either DC or AC is also an appreciable addition, providing flexibility depending on the shooting location and circumstances.In conclusion, the Amaran 200x S 200W Bi-Color LED Video Light is a top-tier lighting solution for any serious videographer.

I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Solid light, very quiet while running. While its not as solid as the other aputure lights, it does the job if you're careful with it. Only real complaints are that it doesn't come with a decent case like the 60x, the power cable is too short, and the reflector dish has the hotspot in the middle. But its a great light for the price.

Great construction and operation. Better than expected!

In my small studio, I wanted a lighting unit with little bit more power than the SmallRig RC120B. I was looking at SmallRig RC220B but they’ve become hard to find. Since this unit was similar in power, I thought I’d give it a try. The unit comes with the light itself, hyper reflector, power adapter, manual and couple of Aputure stickers.One thing I noticed right out of the box was that it did not come with a cover or a carrying case. Most other light in the price range has some sort of case but this one did not. In appearance, it looks somewhat similar to the SmallRig lights including the fixed light stand handle. However, the rear control interface is different and very well laid out and once on, you can tell that this is higher quality light than the RC120B. I haven’t done extensive testing but using my Opple meter, this one seems to have more color accuracy.Although rated only 50w higher than the RC120B’s, this is noticeably brighter and meets my needs nicely. The included power brick has a smartly designed clip on the power cord that prevents accidental power disconnects and the app is easy to use to control the light. One thing I didn’t like about the Sidus app is that I had to create an account and sign in, otherwise, in guest mode, I didn’t have a way for me to add the light ton control it. App makes it easy to control the light settings as well as effects if you use them. For me, this has become my main light and with a softbox, it creates very nice light that works well for photos as well as video. Light is quiet and the quality output makes this easy one to recommend.

My amaran lights are as follows, the 100d, 200x Bi, and the 300c RGB. The more things that you ask these lights to do, the more hamstringed the light output is. Case in point the 100d at 5600k outputs a maximum of 3750 lux while the 200x Bi at 5600k can reach 4630 lux. In practical use, I found this to be about two thirds of a stop more light. The 200 also has a slightly broader light pattern with the reflector mounted.The Sidus app hasn't given me any problems as of yet and is slightly more intuitive and easier to use than the Smallrig app for my other set of lights. It's packed full of features like setting fade in and out points that can be run like a program, not to mention access to all of the special effects features.In my pictures the 200x is on the left, followed by the 300 and 100 respectively. You can see that the 100 and 200 have near identical designs save for the extra nob to control your color temperature on the 200.Another plus is the starting point when going from 0% to 1%. It's on par with the 100, meaning that while their brightest points might not line up, you can get the to start in the same place if you need a small fraction of light. I only point this out because a Godox light I have takes a huge jump from 0 to 1.
